The first one was naively silly, but at least it was entertaining in places. The second one is just silly. I literally didn't laugh once, both the classic Adam Sandler humour and the classic comedy humour are completely missing here, Jennifer Aniston is also bland and the whole result is more of a contrived Netflix cashing in on the previous film's name. Boring, boring, boring.

If you have the Glass Onion, then we have the Eiffel Tower! The amateur detective couple quickly jumps into action before they’re forgotten. However, the whodunit puzzle is dull (virtually nonexistent), and the duo of Adam Sandler and Jennifer Aniston are, in terms of characters, the Cyclopses among Wonder Women, with humor ranging from diapered fauna to lascivious smoke signals, which brings more confusion than laughs. On the other hand, expecting anything different would be as foolish as thinking that the wind on the second floor of the pride of Paris would mess up Mark Strong’s hair. Another sequel? Hopefully, gravity will be against it.

Cheerful silliness for a good mood. It lacks the surprise moment of the first episode and the jokes are weaker, but that's what makes the crazy action and the level of luxury all the better. The whole intro makes it seem like the main stars have been spoiled by Netflix with new iPhones, beautiful dresses and an Indian dance they were the only ones who didn't have to learn choreography for. Sandler's a natural.

The second adventure of the Spitzes seemed to me qualitatively comparable to the first one, although you should take it with a grain of salt. Murder Mystery 2, like its predecessor, has an optimal running time, and at times it’s slightly amusing, but also suspenseful (especially during the van ride). Adam Sandler and Jennifer Aniston didn't grow on me after this film either, but I didn't mind them in the end, while I found Kuhoo Verma and Jodie Turner-Smith (with her minion) annoying. An easygoing and very unpretentious flick for exactly one viewing!

Last time the murders were on a yacht, now they're looking for kidnappers in Paris. And it's more or less the same boring movie, with Adam Sandler and Jennifer Aniston screaming cutely at each other most of the time, and capable actors standing around with nothing to do. Despite the 90-minute running time, Murder Mystery 2 drags a lot, because despite a stellar cast and a couple of unexpectedly decent action scenes, it's a routine that you'll forget by the next day. Even if it's not garbage, it's hard to find a reason to recommend someone spend ninety minutes of their life watching it.
